Happy to share our new paper on the multiple values of sacred forests in Nigeria. Special thanks to my supervisors Martin Dallimer & Lindsay Stringer. Also grateful to CSC in the UK and @SRILeeds for supporting the study. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/paโฆ
๐ Started my three-week placement at University of Pretoria this week! Excited to connect with fellow researchers, share my work and collaborate on South Africaโs crop pest control. The campus is stunning, and the people are amazing ๐ฑ๐
Attending the 24-hour #BOUsci23 online bird migration conference from the comfort of my sofa!โ๏ธ Insightful presentation from Kieran Lawrence on the profound effects of climate and land-use change on migratory bird populations in North America and Europe.๐ฆ๐ฆ๏ธGreat start to the morning!
Our new paper is now out in Diversity & Distributions, where we present a new modelling framework - Spatially explicit Adaptive Migration Models (SAMMs). We show how this approach can simulate the optimal behavioural decisions to migrate across open land- and seascapes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11โฆ
I highly recommend anyone at #BES2023 come and check out my talk in the Macroecology and Biogeography session this afternoon on the dynamicSDM R package (Room 1A at 13:15pm)!๐๐ป British Ecological Society
